Flopped Straight? No Good!

Cliff 'JohnnyBax' Josephy and another player got it all in on a flop of K-Q-10. JohnnyBax had A-J for the flopped straight, and his opponent had Q-10 for middle and bottom pair. The turned Q gave the opponent the unlikely full house, and the river was a 5. Bax is still very much alive, though.

Dave Fox Bets Strong

Dave Fox and three other players saw a flop for 300; the flop was {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. It's checked to Fox who bet 700 and one player called. The turn was {7-Hearts} and Fox bet 1,625. The opponent folded.

One of these days we're going to catch Dave Fox with Q-Q and do a "Foxy Ladies" joke. Just watch.
